I am using 5.0 downloades iso two different times and burned two different disks for KDE AMD 64 bit, nvidia video board. After multiple attempts have abandoned the effort. When starting to format the disk the installer crashes. 5.0 continues to work. Seems absurd that the formater crashes. Any suggestions.

I've done a search of the forum and haven't found any clear answer to this question yet: How does one go about upgrading from 5.0 to 5.1? Do we need to change our /etc/entropy/repositories.conf file to reflect new repositories? I'm asking this because my 5.0 system is "fully up to date" according to Magneto, however, a quick comparison of the changelog for 5.1 vs. 5.0 reveals that I don't have the latest nvidia-drivers or xorg 7.5 as well as other packages new to 5.1; these don't appear to be available or upgradable in Sulfur. If I want a fully up-to-date 5.1 system, how do I achieve this via the package manager and not by using a fresh install? Thanks!

*** EDIT ***I found the answer and am now updating...

With the 5.0 release, you should be able to roll along and stay current. Anything prior to 5 is in a different branch, hence the equo hop 5 needed to continue updates. At this point and time, I would not recommend doing it, but you are free to try it. Just make sure you have the latest entropy all the time.
